By the end of Saturday night, there will be no doubt that the Florida Gators are the best team in the Sunshine State.

Despite their No. 4 ranking in the BCS, the Gators don't have a whole lot of national supporters on their side as they head to Tallahassee to take on the No. 10 Florida State Seminoles.

For the first time in 12 years, these two in-state rivals will face off as top-10 teams, but with a ferocious defense and one of the country's best running backs, the Gators have the firepower to take down the Seminoles at Doak Campbell Stadium.

Let's take a look at five ways the Gators will expose the overrated Seminoles on Saturday.

Commit to Running the Ball

Florida State ranks No. 1 in rushing yards allowed, but that doesn't mean it's the best run defense in the country.

Considering Clemson is the only ranked team that the Seminoles have faced in 2012, those numbers are skewed.

While the Gators have surrendered roughly 300 more rushing yards than the Seminoles, the Gators have been tasked with stopping terrific running teams like LSU, Georgia and South Carolina.

FSU certainly has a talented defense, but it hasn't faced the likes of Mike Gillislee and the Florida rushing attack this year.

The Gators' senior tailback finally got things going last week—albeit against Jacksonville State—but you can bet offensive coordinator Brent Pease will be committed to putting the ball in the hands of his best playmaker against the Seminoles.

With a healthy offensive line, expect the Gators to stick to running the ball to set up the passing game as they prove why they're one of the better running teams in the nation.

Stop the Run

Kim Klement-US PRESSWIREJon Bostic is a future starter in the NFL.

No Florida defender has played more meaningful snaps in his career than senior Jon Bostic.

The Gators' middle linebacker has steadily improved from a run-stuffer to an every-down playmaker, and his development as a senior has been a key in the Gators' ascension as one of the nation's premier defenses.

With the 6'1", 246-pounder manning the middle, Florida has held opponents to a paltry 95.2 rushing yards per game.

The Seminoles do feature a two-headed monster in Devonta Freeman and James Wilder, Jr., but besides Maryland, FSU hasn't faced a rush defense ranked in the top 45.

Between the tough-as-nails Bostic and the speedy Jelani Jenkins, Florida has the talent at linebacker to combat Freeman and Wilder.

Attack EJ Manuel

Kim Klement-US PRESSWIREEJ Manuel had a horrific game against the Gators last year.

Seminoles fans better pray EJ Manuel doesn't play against the Gators like he did last year.

In what amounted to a ferocious defensive struggle, Manuel did just that.

FSU's starting quarterback completed just six passes for 65 yards against UF in a 20-7 win, but he looked anything like a future NFL starter.

The Gators sacked Manuel four times in last year's matchup, and this year's defense is light years better than the 2011 group.

Dan Quinn needs to unleash the hounds up front, send Jelani Jenkins and Neiron Ball on the attack and surprise Manuel with occasional safety blitzes in order to shake up the redshirt senior's confidence.

If the Gators can get in Manuel's head and force a turnover or two early, they'll expose the Seminoles as one of the most overrated teams in the country.
